Manaus, Brazil, September 17, 2008-- A port worker carries a piracuru, the largest freshwater fish in South America, which was confiscated from smugglers who were attempting to transport 66 of the giants to a market, according to Reuters.

Fishing for piracuru, which can reach more than ten-feet (three-meters) long and top the scales at 330 pounds (150 kilograms), is prohibited in the wild in Brazil. Farmed fish, however, are allowed. The meat is considered a delicacy.
